         Dialects: Regional Varieties of English
                        How many dialects are there
                        in the US?
                        • Social scientists estimate the number 
                           of US dialects range from a basic three 
                           - New England, Southern and 
                           Western/General America - to 24 or 
                           more.
                        •  Some researchers go so far as to 
                           suggest it's actually impossible to 
                           count the number of dialects in the 
                           United States because under a loose 
                           definition of the term, thousands of 
                           cities, towns and groups have their 
                           own varieties or dialects.                      7

                        Dialect Myths and Reality
                        • MYTH: A dialect is something that 
                           SOMEONE ELSE speaks.
                        • REALITY: Everyone who speaks 
                           a language speaks some dialect 
                           of the language; it is not possible 
                           to speak a language without 
                           speaking a dialect of the 
                           language.
